Sons Of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter has signed his first overall deal: a three-year pact with FX Prods and 20th Century Fox TV, whose division Fox21 co-produces SOA with FX Prods. The deal will keep Sutter at the helm of FX’s flagship drama series and allow him to develop for both cable and broadcast. With him on board, FX has added a year to the show’s recent fifth-season pickup, bringing the series to 6 seasons. With Sutter locked in for three years, the expectation is that SOA will go to at least 7 seasons. The pact also includes a script commitment for Sutter at FX. News of the deal broke the way Sutter always does it, on Twitter. “Closed my deal for 3 more years on SOA. no headlines, no pushed schedule… thank you FX and 20th for your generosity,” he wrote on Sunday. He almost got his “no headlines” wish, with the tweet going unnoticed for days until finally spotted by reporters.

Nice to see this idiot appears to have learned to keep his big mouth shut. He is virtually without talent and suffers from fatal nepotism, and we will look back on SOA as we do The Dukes of Hazzard.

Fatal nepotism? Explain, please.

“We will look back on SOA as we do the Dukes of Hazard.” Clever, but unlikely and specious. As is “Fatal Nepotism,” which would at best make sense as the title of an overblown Danielle Steele novel.

Settle down, Blanche. SOA is a brilliant concept, a gripping show, which deserves every accolade and as much support as can be thrown at it.

Had its moments, esp the Second Season, but it lost me midway through the third, finished out the year, and never went back. Just not for me, I guess!

I am stoked about SOA. true there is some humor involved, but there is an undercurrent of realism of MC’s from past and present. I am SO looking forward to the 5th season premiere…anyone know about when this will be happening?
